i was worried about talking about Christian things on my blog...
worried that i might be ailenating friends....
but then i read something from dear nev... and something from siao charn...
siaocharn says: yup... i used to think i was just going to be an "underground christian" but sometimes these days, i just want to shout and splash it across my blog about the joy i receive these days ...
divinesummerbliss says: yes yes
divinesummerbliss says: ironically
divinesummerbliss says: i was just talking to my friend abt that
divinesummerbliss says: i realise i've been getting a lot less tags lately
divinesummerbliss says: and i've wondered if it's cos i've been blogging abt christian things
siaocharn says: hmmm ... it may be but that's not a bad thing necessarily ... coz people who do not know Christ yet may not understand and thus not know how to respond ... and tags are by no means an indication of how your testimony/sharing has gone out to touch people's lives ... i bet someone of those whom you have touched don't even know they have been positively changed ...
divinesummerbliss says: i dunno
divinesummerbliss says: sometimes i feel bad
divinesummerbliss says: but then again blogs are for yourself
divinesummerbliss says: i didnt even use to care abt the number of tags cos well.. i didn'thave a tag board
siaocharn says: yup ... when i first wrote about christian stuff, i was concern that i may put people off as preachy but then i was like heck, it's MY blog i write what i like to write and if you don't like then don't read lor ... i find the blog a good way to share my joy with other people coz it doesn't come out as imposing on other people, i'm just writing to tell you something great that happened to me, just
siaocharn says: as how people would write about their bfs and stuff ...
divinesummerbliss says: that is true
divinesummerbliss says: though i do try to keep aaron out of my blog
divinesummerbliss says: mainly cos
divinesummerbliss says: that's my personal life
siaocharn says: and when i saw my cgl's cgl's blog and some other church's friends blog, how unreservedly they proclaim their love for Him, then i feel quite bad about even having 2nd thoughts about my own reservations ... sure i don't have to be like them but there's no reason why i should hold ack or be bothered by what "people" think .. i care about what He thinks more ...
God is an essential part of my life.. without Him i wouldn't be the person i am today... and pple blog to write abt their lives right?
my life is nothing without Him...
it was really heartening to feel God in my life this week.. when I had these doubts... immediately i had reassurance from pple like nev and siao charn... i thank God for putting friends like them in my life...
then the songs today in church...
like all heaven declares...
"All heaven declares the glory of the risen Lord, Who can compare with the beauty of the Lord. Forever He will be the Lamb upon the throne, I gladly bow the knee and worship Him alone.
I will proclaim the glory of the risen Lord Who once was slain to reconcile man to God Forever You will be the Lamb upon the throne I gladly bow my knee and worship You alone."
If God is my saviour, why should i be ashamed of Him?
He is exalted..
"He is exalted The King is exalted on high I will praise him He is exalted forever exalted And I will praise His name
He is the Lord Forever His truth shall reign Heaven and earth rejoice in His Holy name He is exalted The King exalted on high "
sometimes i feel bad for singing certain songs.. when you worship God with your voice... it's like the words you sing.. are promises to Him and too often when i remember the songs i've sung to Him...i realise how many promises i've broken...
All hail King Jesus
"All hail King Jesus, All hail Emmanuel King of Kings, Lord of Lords, Bright Morning Star. And throughout eternity, I'll sing Your Praises, And I'll reign with You throughout eternity. "
The songs i've sung.. the words i've spoken to Him in prayer...
like i told nev.. i'm ashamed that i even was ashamed about God's role in my life.
hope God brings blessings for a better week this week since... well.. i really need to get some studying done cos it's the last week of easter hols!
